I'm building an RC aircraft that will have 15km range, might be something to consider - cheap too.
Lawmate 2.4Ghz 1000mW AV Transmitter.
A high quality high powered transmitter in the 2.4GHz frequency range.
Highly integrated circuit / High power output (1Watt).
High Reliability/Linearity/AlGaAs/GaAs FET power amplifier module built-in
Using digital phase-Lock-Loop circuit without drifting problem under high temperature
8 channels DIP switch selectable*
You can order this from 100mw to 1000mw.
ONLY THING to consider is that these require cooling, and since you won't be flying on an R/C plane you may have to put a mini fan on it.

This system works great. I used it to build a remote system for range use. It works great out to 1000 yds +. I mounted the trans in a radio shack hobby box and use a small fan to cool it. I also drilled holes in the box for circulation.
IMO, it would work great as a security setup. You can use the mini cameras popular for RC use - as I do - with telephoto lenses.
